In that case, scratch my first response. Server 'b' could have it's ports set to 7800/78001, and so could box 'c' and 'd.' This is because the ldoms are mutually exclusive of each other. Each one will act as a seperate server so a similar port configuration should be fine.
There shouldn't be a need to open any ports at the firewall. Communications should be local which means that packets are not flying off the box, onto the network and back again. BTW - I see that Ra, the Mighty Sun God (double pun) has smiled upon you, blessing you with Solaris servers, CoolThreads, multi-cores, and virtualization.
